His statue actually was criminally damaged not long ago, but I didn’t cry about it on here because a bit of vandalism doesn’t affect my delicate sensibilities as much as it seems to for some others

Last I checked Marx hated blacks and was for slavery. Tear it down! Since we are taking down statues of racist and and slave owners his should be taken down. He hated blacks and he was an advocate of slavery. Love how you went to anti Semite To defend and protect Marx. Just like I said with you guys it’s only about hurting what you deem as your political opposite you are not here for black people
The anti semite was being ironic. You took it to moronic as only you could.
You never know with you idiots because you call people ist and phobes like it’s nothing
Can I get some citations on the “Marx was pro slavery” assertion please? @mhappy
Because communism is already as discredited as it needs to be, but if it needs a final nail, the ideology that is all about liberating the oppressed proletariat actually being in favour of slavery would certainly do it.
Not like there isnt any black Marxist in the world is the.
Well despite his history as a facilitator of slave trade, that statue was a representation of his philantrophy towards Bristol.
Those placards change the representation to slavery. That’s not why the statue was built.
I have no skin in the game so do as you guys please.
But If UK wants to label everything with what was the negative component of individual or collective success, then I can send over some ‘Funded by Colonalism’ stickers which you can use to label just about everything in UK. 
The point of it being in a museum is for the purposes of education. It makes perfect sense to include a placard or two to explain to people in the future what led to the statue ending up in museum instead of where it started out in public. The placards are a representation of that.

I mean what happened over the couple days can be considered a historic event, the placards make perfect sense to me that while people were okay with the erection of the statue (at the time) they no longer are. Which is what I meant by ‘is it not obvious?’
